THE SILVER PALATE'S CHOCOLATE CAKE



The Silver Palate's Chocolate Cake image

This recipe is adapted from "The Silver Palate Cookbook," written by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso, who through their store in Manhattan, the Silver Palate, introduced bisteeya and poppy-seed dressing to the Upper West Side. For many, their cookbook, originally published in 1982, was a book of revelations: even if you hadn't mastered the art of French cooking, a meal of chicken Marbella and an indulgent dessert, cooked with confidence, was not beyond your grasp. Enter this decadent chocolate cake, whose title belies its incredible simplicity. The ingredients take hardly any time to whip together, and it bakes in a tube pan for under an hour. Gild it with a gooey chocolate frosting, and feed it to those you love with good cheer.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any last-minute scrambling.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cake will taste. Look for premium chocolate, fresh butter, and large eggs.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the cake will result in a dry, crumbly texture.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

With its easy-to-follow instructions and helpful tips, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this chocolate cake a try.
